More than 350 people attended the inaugural workshop in late September last year. EM made available the event's support materials, including links to 15 videos that captured addresses by Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and EM Assistant Secretary Monica Regalbuto, along with roundtable sessions focusing on the cleanup program’s next five years and its major accomplishments. The presentations from the roundtable sessions, photos from the workshop, and a workshop attendee list are all available here
